Saving for College? We Want to Help!
College costs are higher than ever. We’re doing our part to help local families save money.
Our 2022 Wisdom For Wisdom program seeks to help students save for college by providing free wisdom teeth removal procedures. In addition to providing the procedure at no cost, we will also treat the recipients with EXPAREL®, a non-opioid, long-lasting treatment that will ensure a healthy recovery after the procedure.
This year we selected three San Diego residents to be our Wisdom For Wisdom recipients. Kaitlyn and Kimberly, 19, are twins and attend MiraCosta College, while our third recipient, Asante, 20, attends San Diego State University.
Just the facts...
- Wisdom teeth are the only teeth that don’t form before birth.
- 85% of wisdom teeth will need to be removed at some point.
- Wisdom teeth are the last of the 32 adult permanent teeth to develop and erupt.
- Wisdom teeth that are impacted (they cannot erupt completely) can cause problems in your mouth and sinus.
- Wisdom teeth often appear between the ages of 17 and 25.
